The U.S. government was sued over Navy sonar tests in whale habitats primarily in 2008. The lawsuit was brought by several environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which argued that the sonar tests could harm marine life, particularly whales. The legal battles surrounding the issue continued for several years, leading to various court rulings and agreements aimed at mitigating the impact of sonar on marine species.

What does SOG2 NAVY mean?
That's a rate designation I've not seen in many years.SOG2 is one of the earliest designations for a U.S. Navy Sonarman. There were several designations, the original just being "Soundman" (SoM):SO - SonarmanSOG - Sonarman (Sonar)SOH - Sonarman (Harbor Defense)SoM - Sonarman (Soundman)SOMH - Sonarman (Harbor Defense)While not specifically stated in U.S. Navy historical archives, the "G" likely stands for "Guns" as the current surface sonar rate, "STG", stands for "Sonar Technician, Guns". This is to differentiate between surface and submarine sonar rates, which share the same principles of Sonar, but vastly different tactics and equipment.The equivalent submarine rating (my old rate) is STS, or Sonar Technician, Submarines.The "2" after the SOG refers to the sailor's rank, in this case a 2nd Class Petty Officer.
Does a ship have a sonar?
Most modern combat Navy surface vessels have Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) sonar arrays of some type, and at least 1 Aircraft Carrier does as well (newer carriers use their escort vessels for ASW sonar screens). Essentially, that comes down to Cruisers, Destroyers, and Frigates, which make up the bulk of a Carrier Battle Group or Task Force screen to protect the Carrier from submarine threats. However, those ships, as well as Carriers, also use fixed and rotary wing aircraft with deployable (dipping) and expendable (sonobuoys) sonar as well. Ship sonar systems include the main forward sonar arrays, as well as deployable Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) towed sonar systems.
Are the destroyers up river in Vietnam considered brown water navy?
No, destroyers are not considered part of the brown water navy in Vietnam.
